How do you keep a transmission in that thing? Magnus Dogbox?
Watch it Will... Us Galant guys get mad when people call them DSM's.
I have RNR aluminum rods in it. I have to pull the pan and check the rod bolts for stretch soon, but I have about 15k miles on them so far. The trans is actually what I'm working on again now. I did a full refresh of it back when I put the engine in, then broke a 3rd gear shift rail last fall. I just buttoned it up to get the car back together.
I've been doing some research on Liberty Gear and their face plate modification. It basically builds a dogbox out of your existing gears. I would love to do a Magnus or PPG gearbox, but at 6k +, it's just not in my budget. Liberty will do yours for $80 a gear and $80 for a machined hub. So to do 1-4 will be like $720 + shipping. I might leave a synch'd First gear for better street manners, and I can save some money too. They are well liked by higher HP Honda guys and T56 setups. Lingenfelter has a set in their 1300w/tq new Camaro and it seems to be holding up.
